After 5 years of being natural, I have to admit I had became lazy and careless with my hair. The stress of life among other things had taken it's toll on my hair. This lead to laziness, lack of motivation, split ends, breakage and a very itchy and sensitive scalp.
After prayer and releasing everything back to God as I should have done in the first place; I decided to
fall back in love with my hair and give it the attention it deserves. I have decided to take that extra time to give it alittle more TLC that I started in my journey 5 years ago. I thought it would be helpful if I blogged about it. If I were to blog it would help me track my journey and have that extra push to be consistent as I once was.
I have a few other projects that I will be doing and will share as they develop as well. Most of the projects will correlate with my hair journey some sort of way anyway. I'm starting an indoor garden to improve my eatting habits which will improve hair growth, and playing around with essential oils and crocheting.
Goal:
My goal is to have a healthy scalp and grow healthy, thick big afro hair lol. My immediate goal for the next few months will be just getting back on track with a good hair routine that I will be consistent with and to grow my hair out to chin length when wet. At the moment when stretched it's about neck length. So hopefully by June I will see some major growth.
Routine:
-My routine right now is prewashing, shampooing and conditioning on Sundays.
-Wednesday most likely a co-wash. For some that may be too much but for me it's exactly what I need for my scalp.
-Oil scalp 3x a week.
-Keep my hair in twist protective styles.
-Weekly check-ins on the blog for updates and pics.
Products that I am currently using:
Theraneem Organix Shampoo and Conditioner
Shea Moisture Organic Coconut & Hibiscus Conditioner (leave in)
Queen's Touch of Blessings Scalp Aid
Castor Oil
Water
and a healthy diet!!!
I am excited to be getting back on track. I am always looking for tips, hairstyles and any advice you all may have to give so don't be afraid to leave a comment and let me know. (Questions are also welcomed :)
So until next time...
God Bless!!
